yea but i want to know the specific compound that burns with blue/green sparks. what good does different colored sparklers do me? come on somebodys got to know how many hits does this site get a day, some one must have picked up such a compound in the endless hour they have used the internet, anybody?

okay new question is there any ghetto source of Barium Nitrate or Copper Nitrate, or do i have no choice but to buy it online? can i just grind a copper pipe into a fine powder, i realize its not copper nitrate bup will it work?

Umm do some research but If you mix nitric acid and another substance it "nitrates" the substance and there is a special way to do it. Becareful with nitric acid It will eat thorough just about anything if given some time except temper glass made to hold it with a glass plugg.
